Next to Suriyan, Chandran is the most auspicious of the Navagrahas. Our sacred texts narrate that Chandran was born with the elixir when the Devas churned the Ocean of milk, that he had his manifestation from the heart of Lord Vishnu; that he allocates the fruits of enjoyments according to karma. Chandran, when propitiated makes one famous; gives sight to those threatened with blindness.

Entrance into the temple is through the Southern gate of the Kailasanathan temple situated at the southern end of tiny hamlet at Thingalur. We are blessed with the vision of Holy Mother Periya Nayagi Amman whose ‘gracious demeanour drives away all grief and sorrow that lie in our heart.
